Vietnamese Egg Coffee

Yes, Egg Coffee. Actually the drink uses only the egg yolk which is whipped together with sweetened condensed milk for a rich top layer. Yield: one cup of coffee.

Ingredients

8 ounces of black coffee, brewed strong 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk 1 egg yolk

Method

Combine the condensed milk, egg yolk, and one tablespoon of the coffee in a small bowl and whisk. You are looking for a pale color and a foamy texture that falls into thick ribbons off the whisk. This will take time and a quite a bit of effort.

If you double or triple the recipe, instead, you can do this far more easily in a stand mixer. For one cup, however, there's not sufficient volume for the whisk attachment to aerate the mixture.

Fill a glass mug 1/3 to a 1/2 way full with the remainder of the coffee and top with the egg foam.
